Hi all
I'm not sure if everyone's aware but apparently the closest existing Scenic Railway trains to match our Margate version are at Vidampark, Budapest. I eventually got to visit the park last August and thought I'd let you see some shots I got of the ride, which I thought was very impressive for its time (1926) according to rcdb.com.
It looked like they had at least around ten (yes ten!) trains in the station. Sadly I couldn't get to talk to any technical people as I visited on a Sunday and hadn't got round to trying to contact the park prior to my rather sudden visit.
Here's my photo album link; http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s21/ ... 20Railway/
Hope we can possibly have one of two trains for the revived Margate Scenic (note: the seats actually had heavy springs attached to them; rather unusual)
